Pros

Things are on the up and up. Campus is gorgeous and people are friendly. Housing in Inland Empire much cheaper than closer to the coast. Lots of faculty hiring 2015-2017

Cons

A lot of growing pains. Lots of new-hires that have no idea what's going on. Basic infrastructure needs not being met. Promises about buildings/facilities being built by a certain date not being met, and not being met for years.

Great institution serving a diverse student population. Plenty of interesting research labs. Decent benefits.

Cons

Commuter school so traffic and parking can be terrible. Select your PI wisely, and ensure healthy work life balance.
